Default key map for Sun
Hi, I've noticed the following problem when using the console: the shift+alt combination doesn't work. I've traced it to the following line in /etc/def/default.map: keymaps 0-2,4-5,8,12 My Debian/i386 system has keymaps 0-15 The combination shift+alt would correspond to number 9, which is not listed in the first line. Also, the definitions for alt+percent, alt+asciicircum (how's that for a name?), etc are not there. I can probably patch the mapping using the Debian/i386 as a guide, but I'm curious to know why this is so. Compatibility with older Sun's? Thanks in advance, -- Hermano Cabral
X only works for root
> I can start X as root w/o problems, but as a user, it says: ... > Fatal server error: > no screens found This problem has come up here several times already. The solution seems to be either (1) change the permissions of /dev/fbX (but does this have any other consequences? why are the permissions "wrong" to start with? should one make all of these files writable, or just /dev/fb0?), or (2) use xdm Is there an FAQ file yet where we can put this information? I bet this question will be appearing here again and again and again ...

The problem seems to be with some device file permissions. The following solved the problem for me: chmod a+r /dev/fb0 You have to run it as root. Regards, -- Hermano Cabral

I don't believe so, I just installed slink on a SparcStation IPC (just for proof-of-principle) with a 200MB disk (50MB for swap), but I didn't install gcc, or netscape. I have X installed, though. My one partition looks like this: Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on /dev/sda1 147129 10396635566 75% / This brings me to a question I wanted to ask the group. I can start X as root w/o problems, but as a user, it says: (using VT number 7) Warning: The directory "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/" does not exist. Entry deleted from font path. Warning: The directory "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" does not exist. Entry deleted from font path. Fatal server error: no screens found X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). Up until the "Fatal server error:" is the same as I get starting as root, so it's not the lack of fonts that's killing me. The fact that it works as root makes me think it's a permissions problem, but all the same files are suid and sgid here as on my intel. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks. -Dano

I have installed slink on a IPC with 200 MB hard disk including swap. I have X, gcc togerther with system and X headers (and of course basic stuff and run time libraries) but no g++ and netscape. All of them takes 109 MB. --- PHAM Dinh Tuan | e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Laboratoire de Modelisation et Calcul | Tel: +33 4 76 51 44 23 BP 53, 38041 Grenoble cedex (France) | Fax: +33 4 76 63 12 63 ---

Hi, would it be possible to install slink on a sparc10 which only has about 150MB of space? I mean install the X window system and gcc,g++ plus netscape and all associated libraries?

iraf
Hi, on my sparcstation 10 which has slink on it, Ive set /etc/apt/sources.list to point to ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free and run apt-get update. If I type apt-get install iraf it says package has no installation candidate and similarly if I use dselect to do this no iraf is obtained. If I do the same on the i386 architecture, I do find iraf and everything is fine. Does this mean this package has not been ported to debian-sparc 2.1? Also, I got netscape for debian-sparc from ftp.netscape.com and installed it on this sparc10. When I type netscape I get netscape: error in loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.2.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory What package should I install to get this working?
